Hey guys welcome back to my blog. Today's post is about my Sport hero.
My sports hero is Kobe Bryant because he is a Basketball star. Kobe has been playing basketball since 1978 all the way through 2016. The position he played was shooting guard. Kobe first started playing basketball at the age of 18 years old and in fact he was the first youngest man to play in the NBA( National Basketball Association.) Kobe retired basketball in 2015-16 because he had to get surgery on his torn cuff. He didn't want to retire but he knew it was time to let his dream go. He knew it was the right thing to do. He also said that if it hadn't been for his torn cuff he would still be playing Basketball. Kobe and his 13 year old daughter had gone on a helicopter ride and the pilot had flown it into the clouds and crashed the helicopter. The helicopter accident caused the pilot/Kobe and the thirteen year old to die. Kobe had died on the 26th of January 2020(last year.) Kobe was 41 years old when he had died. His thirteen year old's name had been Gianna Bryant. Kobe had been on the Los Angeles Lakers team.
I have always wanted to be a Basketball star. After I found out that Kobe Bryant had been a Basketball star at the age of 18 that's when I knew he was my hero. I now know that it is possible to become a star for basketball at a young age in the teens.
I chose Kobe Bryant as my hero because I look up to him. Kobe has been inspiring and had been kind to all his team mates. Kobe never let the team down and never hogged the ball. Kobe had made it possible to become an NBA star at the age of only 18.
Kobe has won four NBA all star MVP awards. Kobe had been on the Lakers team for 20 whole years. That is so long.
Kobe Bryant.
Gianna Bryant.
